Boudoir Frequently Asked Questions
OOOMMGGG you have soooo many questions! LOL I totally get it. Let’s see if we can’t get some of these boudoir frequently asked questions answered!
Where do I start?!
Easy! Start with a simple chat with me! Let’s dish and talk about how you want to feel. I’m an expert. I can answer all your questions and create a custom experience just for you. Yes, really. (305)310-8882. That’s my cell. Talk about easy. You’re halfway there!
What do I wear?
Rule #1 - Dress in what makes YOU feel good! Some people love going to Victoria’s Secret and buying all new lingerie and some people dig into the back of their closets and find their oldest, coziest t-shirt. I find most people do a combination of both. At the end of the day, its about what feels good.
- I’m not comfortable in lingerie - do I have to get naked?
You may be saying to yourself that you don’t feel “conventionally sexy” meaning that you don’t identify with things like pearls, lace and lingerie. That’s the beauty of this process. You get to explore your own personality, sensuality and sexuality and identify what brings you joy.
The possibilities are literally endless and the message here is that there is no wrong way to be yourself. That’s the point of all of this - just Be. Your. Damn. Self.
Ask me about my Inspiration Guides to give you some ideas!
- I’m nervous!
Of course you are! That’s a good thing! Just follow all the steps, do the homework and have fun. I promise you’re gonna love this experience!
- I don’t know how to pose?
You probably don’t know how to change the oil in the car either, right? You leave it to the pros. So, just leave this to me. Any color. Any shape. Any size. Any whatever-hang-up-is-eating-you-up-right-now. I got this.
- I just need to lose another 10 lbs....
You and every other person I know! Listen, I can do more for you with lighting and posing than you can do with starving yourself. Don’t wait for “when” this or that. Just do it. Love the skin you're in!
- Would a boudoir shoot make a good gift for my significant other?
Uuuuhhh... HELL YES! Can you imagine the look on your partner’s face when they open the album?! OMG. Phenomenal.
- How many outfits do you photograph?
As many as you can cram into our 4 hour session. Most people end up with 3-5 looks.
+ How many images do I get?
As many as you like! Whether you choose an album or the digital collection, you get as many as you like. I don’t charge by the image.
+ What do your packages include? How much should I expect to spend?
I have some gorgeous packages with albums and wall art that are my faaaaavorites! I also have an a la carte menu as well. Most clients spend in the area of $2500, but there are no minimums. You are welcome to create the package that works for you. The most important thing to me is that you have an amazing experience that you remember forever. We’ll go over everything in detail at your Image Reveal & Ordering Session.
+ What happens at the Image Reveal & Ordering Session?
About a week after your session, we will have the Image Reveal & Ordering Session. where we will pour over your images, select your favorites, and decide exactly what you want to do with them. Whether its a few prints, or a piece of wall art, or one of the Premium Collections, we will make those decisions at this appointment and then lock in your order with a down payment or payment in full. The design work begins processing once your order has been paid in full.
+ What days of the week do you shoot?
We shoot during the week. Weekends available at a $250 premium.
+ Do you shoot Men? Women? Couples? LGBTQA?
Yes, yes and yeeessssss! I’m a lover, not a fighter. I stand firm in my belief that this boudoir experience is for Every. Person. and Every. Body. Whoever you are, however you identify, its just perfect for this experience.
Straight dude loving himself? Yep. (See the G-Men series!)
Curvy woman embracing your masculine side? Yes! (Check out the Butch Boudoir Project inaugural shoot!)
Gay man? Perfect! (Check out Mr. M!)
A Couple looking to light your fire? Absolutely (Check out this couple!)
Transgender women? Awesome! ( Check out Neveah at her first boudoir shoot!)
Lithe size zero looking for fine art nudes? Yes! (See these Fine Art Nudes)
Super straight mom of 4? Let’s do it! (Laurie did!)
For real, people. Come as you are. Its all good. Bring me your passions, your loves and let’s make magic.
+ What about privacy? Do you share my images?
Your privacy is a top priority for me. I won’t even confirm or deny that you are a client unless you want me to! And as much as I’d love to share your beautiful images with the world, I would never do so without your express permission.
- But I have all these other questions!?
Once you book, you’ll get a Prep Guide with tons more tips and tricks. Plus a questionnaire to help me get to know you better, and, frankly, to allow you to get to know yourself. When was the last time you really thought about what YOU wanted?
This is truly an EXPERIENCE and not just a photoshoot.
You’ve been thinking about a boudoir shoot long enough….let’s just do it already!
